IntroGD7G
I asked a little boy to call his daddy
D7G
He said he couldn't and sighed
B7Em
And when I asked him what was wrong
A7D7
here's what the little boy replied
D7GDGG7
My Daddy is only a picture, in a frame that hangs on the wall
CCmGEmA7D7
Each day I talk to my daddy, but he never talks at all
D7GD7GG7
I tell him all of my secrets and all of my little plans
CCmGEmA7D7G
and from the way he smiles at me, I know he understands
D7GD7GG7
The angels took Daddy to heaven, when I was just goin' on three
CCmGEmA7D7
But I'll bet they never told him - how blue and lonesome We'd be
D7GD7GG7
I try to cheer up my mommie, when the tears roll down her face
CCmGEmA7D7G
My daddy is only a picture, but I'm tryin' to take his place
